22-year old Ibrahim Haddad (98) had a great game in the last round for Moutahed and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 4.
He had a double-double of 29 points and 10 rebounds, while his team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Anibal (#9, 0-3) with 30-point margin 86-56. Moutahed is placed at 5th position in Lebanese league. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Moutahed will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. In the team's last game Haddad had a remarkable 76.5% from 2-point range. He has many years of experience at Moutahed, through which he has constantly improved. Haddad has impressive league stats. He is in league's top in points (5th best: 1.3ppg).
Second best performed player last round was Fadi El Khatib (198-F-79, agency: BIG) of Champville. He is former international forward in his 4th season at Champville. In the last game El Khatib recorded impressive 33 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Of course he led Champville to another comfortable win 80-67 over the higher-ranked Beirut Club (#1, 3-1) being unquestionably team leader. This victory allowed Champville to move up to 6th position in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 2-2 record is not bad and everything may still change. El Khatib is one of the most experienced players at Champville and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.
Third place about best performers goes to guard Amir Saoud (186-G-91) of Al Riyadi (#7). Saoud got into 30-points club by scoring 32 points in the last round. He went also for five rebounds . Despite Saoud's great performance Al Riyadi lost 78-86 to the higher-ranked Atlas (#3, 2-1). But his team cannot count on just a single shooter as he also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Al Riyadi needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 1 victory and 1 lost game. Saoud has a great season in Lebanon. After only 3 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 14.0ppg (3rd best) and assists with 2.0apg (9th best).
